I've been studying Industrial Design Engineering which was both technical as theoretical. Rigth after that I applied at the Royal College of Arts in The Hague, for Interior Architecture and Furniture Design which was more experimental and aesthetic.<br /><br />This combination has very powerful for exploring on innovative and creative design sollutions. My latest projects are chairs, that are made out of recycled wood from fruit packaging boxes and <a href="http://thecoffeewallet.blogspot.com/">wallets from recycled coffee bags</a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE-KHivdM10ykrekYN6uZB70rsNYE2ESmZMuk3hTwc_1kTJN-zFqWs_QubHycHr_pP0CNWKZC225QLDsJ4Xj2zoTkMyCVineVjgCm7xsPGZAQkHZcPcd_4e8RnK9ndKKRqxxuNxeOuxKk/s1600/flyer.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE-KHivdM10ykrekYN6uZB70rsNYE2ESmZMuk3hTwc_1kTJN-zFqWs_QubHycHr_pP0CNWKZC225QLDsJ4Xj2zoTkMyCVineVjgCm7xsPGZAQkHZcPcd_4e8RnK9ndKKRqxxuNxeOuxKk/s400/flyer.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5665668332820811730" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255); font-style: italic;">Furniture Collection From Packaging Wood</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic;"> </span><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Recycling and sustainability have my greatest attention. As a designer you choose your materials. Some are rare and very expensive, some are considered worthless and discarded When I design I don't like to start from scratch. Without restrictions you get a boring design. So I look at things that draw my attention. Why is that thing, looking like that, working like that, or used like that?<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-6nivBG_buKBJrd6AQPfRPNAxFkc3ufhbi6ZA2qnww2hukcMLdVfKXaF1IcLplBsQZWO3IBKplK1KGxjj7Vw-0sVyACqoRpfXOJUN2G5ofafVGHmDtBriGzy6bndCa92YCXSoZMvarDc/s1600/coffeewallet10.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-6nivBG_buKBJrd6AQPfRPNAxFkc3ufhbi6ZA2qnww2hukcMLdVfKXaF1IcLplBsQZWO3IBKplK1KGxjj7Vw-0sVyACqoRpfXOJUN2G5ofafVGHmDtBriGzy6bndCa92YCXSoZMvarDc/s400/coffeewallet10.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5665664730760927330" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_TXkkf1sjQ&lc=vXXmC2JpDPRobQWm7p6TjBTtx0KA81m4GFu1DaMF8Sg&feature=inbox"><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">The Coffee Wallet.

That makes packaging quite a clever thing, but packaging has only a temporary function. These days we produce a lot of garbage, it would be great to explore ways to reuse or recycle packaging materials better.<br /><br />My ambition is to change the way of looking at packaging. A packaging is not only functional, if you could use it again, it would stimulate creativity.</div>Wouter Wigmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15841839447062956952noreply@blogger.com
